Born Robert Francis O’ Rourke on the 26th September 1972 in El Paso, Texas USA, he is the son of Pat Francis O’Rourke and his wife Melissa Martha O’Rourke. Although of part-Irish ancestry, ‘Beto’ is a latino name for ‘Robert’, and was adopted as the family lived in a predominantly latino area. He is the oldest in the family with two younger sisters. For his high school education, he first attended El Paso High School for two years, before he switched to Woodberry Forest School, which is an all-male boarding school in Madison County, Virginia.
Before enrolling at college, he served as a summer Congressional intern in the Capitol Hill office of US Congressman Ron Coleman. He then enrolled at Columbia University, from which he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature.
Life Before Politics
Before politics, Beto tried himself in music and business; he plays bass and drums, and has been a part of several bands since starting his music career back in high school, but it hasn’t been his primary goal. He was a member of several punk groups, including Fitz of Depression. However, he didn’t have any major success with his musical aspirations.
On the other hand, as a businessman, Beto founded the successful Stanton Street Technology Group.
Politics
He has had contact with politics from an early age as he would follow his father at political events. This continued into adulthood, and Beto began volunteering for the campaigns run by numerous politicians. His first success as a politician came in 2013 when he was elected into the US House of Representatives, representing Texas’s 16th congressional district. He was re-elected in 2014 and 2016, but didn’t for re-election in 2018, as he ran for the US Senate seat held by Ted Cruz, losing by a narrow margin, but received most votes ever for a Democrat in Texas.
Beto then announced his intent to run for President of the United States in the 2020 United States presidential election. However, even before the primaries began, Beto paused his campaign, and completely withdrew on the 2nd March when he announced his endorsement for Joe Biden at a rally event held in Dallas, Texas.
Problems with the Law
In his last year of college, Beto for the first time experienced jail. He and his friends were involved in a felony as they were caught jumping over a fence at the University of Texas, El Paso (UTEP), were caught by the UTEP police and jailed overnight – bail was posted the next day.
Three years later, he was caught driving while intoxicated (DUI) but the charges were later dismissed as he completed a DUI program recommended by the court. This was later used as a dirty laundry by his political opponents, but Beto apologized for his actions and stated that he was “grateful for the second chance”.
